Application filed June 20, 1912. Serial 1%. 70439332.

7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Tnnononn L. Donn'os, a citizen of the United States,residing at lVashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented newand useful Improvements in Mechanical Movements, of which the fol lowingis a specification.

The invention relates to mechanical movements, and more particularly tothe class of power multiplying apparatus.

The primary Ob ect of the invention is the provision of an apparatus ofthis character in which power from any suitable engine or motor may beincreased for the running of machinery or other mechanism withoutrequiring the racing of the engine or motor or otherwise increasing thespeed of the said engine or motor.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an apparatus of thischaracter which is: simple in construction, possessing 't'ew parts,thoroughly reliable and ellicient in its operation, and inexpensive inmanufacture.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as will hehereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation at a power multiplyingapparatus constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a topplan view thereof.

Similar retlerence characters indicate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, the power multiplying apparatuscomprises a'pair of standards 5and 6 respectively, the same beingsuitablyspaccd apart and are formed at their front ends with separablebearings 7, in which are journaled horizon-- tally disposed spindles orstud shafts 8, on one of which is mounted at its opposite ends a pair offly wheels 9, the same being designed to work in unison, while fixed tothe other spindle at one end thereof is a driven sprocket wheel 10,although a belt wheel may be substituted therefor, and fixed to itsopposite end is a fly wheel ll, the standards 5 and 6 being providedwith bases 12 which are suitably fixed to any desirable foundation orstationary support.

Trained over the sprocket wheel 10 is a driven n'ocket chain 13 which isacted n 30D i through the medium of an engine or motor so as to impartrotation to the s indie 8 supporting the sprocket and fly w eels 101M11111, which motion is designed to be transferred to the spindle 8 carryingthe flywheels 9 in a manner presentlydescribed. 4

Arranged on opposite sides of the standard 5 and fixed' te thefoundation or stationary support are vertical posts 14 and 15respectively, the latter post supporting a lever 16 pivoted at 17thereto, and this lever has pivoted at 18 to its opposite ends dependinglinks 19, one of which is pivotedeccentrieall at 20 to the flywheel 11,while the other linli 19 is pivoted ecccntrically at 21 to the fly wheel9, which is arranged in alinementwit the fly wheel 11, so that saidflywheel 11 similar imparted to the fly Wheel 7 reciprocation of thespindle 8 supporting the same.

Supported upon the post 1% is a lever 22, to one end of which is pivotedat 23 a depending linlr 24, the same being pivoted cc: centrically at 25tothe other fiy wheeli),

movement will be 31nd the outer remaining end of the/lever 22?,

to be connected with athrow rod IS adapted or other connection with amotor orthe like, whereby the same may be driven through the medium ofthe connect-ions hereinloeforc described without nexzessitatingtheracing: or the increasing of the speed of the engine or motor drivingthe same.

In connection with fly wheels 9 it will be 9, for the rotary on therotation of noted that while said wheelsare connected for similar andsimultaneous movement, the respective bur levers are through their linksconnected at diametrically opposite points to said fly wheels, therebytaking advantage of the balanced, action. i

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction and operationof the invention will be clearly understood, and therefore, a moreextended explw nation has been omitted.-

What is claimed is In combination, spar-ed apart vertical standards,horizontalsluifts mounted in said standards,.n relatively large sprocketwheel fixed upon one of said shafts, a transmission wheel fixed uponsaid other shaft,- means for rotating said sprocket wheel, apost-disposed substantially alongside of said transmission wheel, asecond post spaced in advance of said transmission wheeLaWrist pincarried peripheraiiy and at right angles by said sprcckea Wheel, a wristpin carried by said. transmission Wheel 0011 tigmms no its peripherysec/3nd Wrist pin carried by said tr'ansmlssicn Wheel pr0ximate; to theshaft upon which said Wheel is .mounted, a hnk of a length greater thanthe diameter of said sprocket wheel pivotaily connected to thewrist pincarried by the latter, a lever fulcrumed eccentric-ally upon said firstnamed post and having its maj or portion pivoially connected to the freeend of said hnk, a second link equal in length to the first named linkpivotally connected at one. and to the tee end of said lever and at
